Dream a Little Dream....

Well it was back to work today after a lovely half term. I'm very tired tonight, as I always am on the first day back:)

Here is a card which I made over the weekend using a lovely stamp from Little Claire Designs called 'Dream a Little Dream'. I love this little stamp and really enjoyed making this card :)

The papers are Craftwork Cards papers ('Ice Cream Parlour') with Papermania and Core'dinations cardstock. The main panel is cut using nestabilities, the edge inked with blue ink. The main image is coloured using ProMarkers. The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards, again, the edge is inked. The flowers are cut using Die-namics MFT die, buttons and ribbon from my stash.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Passion for Promarkers Challenge #103- Blue and Brown
Dream Valley Challenges #8- Stamp something
Paper Sundaes Challenge #72 - Let's get sentimental

Thank you for taking the time to look at my card :) x

New from Little Claire's- The Great Outdoors

These 2 cards have been made using 'The Great Outdoors' stamp set from Little Claire's which is due to be released soon. The set includes the 2 main images you can see here, the sentiment 'enjoy every moment' as well as some smaller stamps :)

This is a really simple card, made using the sketch from a recent Little Claire's challenge. The papers are Kaisercraft (Jungle Bug collection). I have coloured the image using ProMarkers and I have used brown Papermania card stock. As I said, this is a very simple card, but I am really pleased with it! :)

This is my second card using this set. This time I used the second main image from the set- the tent and stamped the cloud (which is also included) above the tent. Other than that all the products used are the same as the previous card! :)

Thank you for taking the time to look at my cards! :) x

Time for a catch up....

Right, it is time for a catch up! I have been really bad recently at keeping my blog updated, and have quite a few cards to show, which should have already been shown! So I am going to start with these two...

This is a simple card made using the 'Elephant in Squares' stamp set from Little Claire Designs.

This is a lovely stamp set to use, with lots of possibilities. More ideas available on the Little Claire website and on the other DT blogs.

I made this card using Dovecraft 'Back to Basics 2' papers and buttons. I have also used Core'dinateions cardstock and a craftwork cards cardblank.

It really was a simple card to make, but I like how it came out in the end :) x

This card made using the 'Hedgehogs in Squares' stamp from Little Claire's. I have used Papermania 'Birdsong' papers, layered with Core'dinations cardstock. The buttons are papermania, gems from my stash.

The photo makes the card look wonky... but is is straight... honestly... :)

Thank you for stopping by to see my cards :) I am going to try my best to post some more this week & catch up with myself :) x

May Club Stamp from Little Claire...

This lovely stamp set is the May club set from Little Claire Designs, and is available on their wesbite.

I have made this card using Henbury Lane papers by Papermania, layered with Core'dinations cardstock. The sentiment is from craftwork cards, as is the card blank and the buttons are from my stash :)

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Spikey Flowers

Here are pictures of 2 cards I have made using the new 'Spikey Flower' set from Little Claire Designs.

This is a great stamp set for creating 'quick' cards as the image does not need a lot of colouring in! On the first card I have added touches of colour to the stamped image, and on the second one I have used gems to add detail.

The papers I have used are from dovecraft's 'Back to Basics 2 pack'. The panels are cut using nestabilities, and buttons and ribbons from my stash.

Thank you for taking time time to look at my cards- I hope you like them! :) x

The Right Time...

These are the cards I have made using the gorgeous April club set from Little Claire Designs. I just love these cute owls... :)

I have coloured the images using ProMarkers. The papers I have used for the first card are from the 'Sugar & Spice' collection by Dovecraft, mounted on Core'dinations cardstock. I have added embellishments and gems to the patterned paper to add dimension & detail. I have also used glossy accents on the hearts.

This second card is a simple card using Basic Grey papers and Core'dinations cardstock. The panels for the main image are cut using nestabilities.

This is one of the 4 sets Steve will be showing on Create & Craft this Thursday (07/04/11) at 11am :)

Thank you for taking the time to look at my cards... I hope you like them! :) x
